Position the car on a jack to lift the desired wheel. Unscrew the 6 wheel nuts and remove the wheel assembly from the hub. Loosen and then remove the clips holding the protective plate and the brake caliper piston to access the pads.

Remove the worn outer pad and place it against the piston, keeping both within the tool you will use to mechanically retract the piston; also remove the worn inner pad from the disc surface and position the two new friction elements in the housing, respectively to the left and right of the brake disc.

Next, reposition the plate with the piston, tightening it with the two clips, ensuring there are no abnormal movements or play in the brake assembly.

Finally, reposition the wheel on the hub and tighten the 6 wheel nuts. Lower the jack to bring the vehicle back to the ground.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
